Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Practitioners Should Pay More Attention to Writing Experience Sharing Articles to Positively Validate Dafa
By a practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) The persecution of Falun Gong has lasted for 7 years.
In order to oppose the persecution, Falun Dafa practitioners from China have
written many articles, exposing the persecution and the evil-doers on the
Clearwisdom website. This has played an important role in doing well the
three things required by Teacher, and has let more people see the
evilness of the persecution and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However,
there are far less articles which positively validate Dafa. The Fa-rectification
has not ended yet. Dafa practitioners who have been cultivating within the Fa
should pay more attention to this and write about their cultivation process of
validating Dafa in Fa-rectification, so that this gap can be filled. Teacher said that only Dafa practitioners' cultivation today counts as true
cultivation; while all the previous cultivation forms were just establishing
cultures for humankind and preparing for today's wide spreading of Dafa. As far
as we understand, opposing the persecution is a very important part of Fa-rectification
period cultivation, as many Dafa practitioners have indeed been persecuted
severely. To reduce their pressure, to reduce the overall losses, to save
sentient being while denying the old forces, it is very important for us to work
harder on exposing the persecution and clarifying this part of the truth. However, there are other important components in Fa-rectification period
cultivation, including how well Dafa practitioners have managed to cultivate
themselves, how well they have done according to the requirements of the Fa-rectification
progress, etc. There are already some articles of this kind on the internet,
especially the articles from the 1st and 2nd Internet
Experience Sharing Conferences for Falun Gong Practitioners in China. They are
very good examples of this kind. Their effects were very different from that of
other articles which exposed the persecution and discussed the problems existing
among practitioners. Dafa practitioners should pay attention to this and write
more articles like this and submit them to Clearwisdom.net. Let the testimonies
written by Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners portray the historical
panorama more thoroughly. Articles of this kind can record the most important part of Dafa
practitioners' validating the Fa from a positive angle. They can encourage all
practitioners and let those who have gone down a wrong path and who cannot let
go of fear see more directly Dafa's power and beauty. They can also let people
see what "Cultivating within the Fa" means, see the wonderfulness of
improving through letting go of attachment, see that only cultivating within the
Fa is correct, while compromising with the old forces and the evil-doers is
deviated, see that it is most important for practitioners to learn how to
cultivate based on Dafa, and see that cultivating within the Fa can not only
avoid making mistakes but can also save sentient beings with ease. This kind of
sharing and experiences can encourage practitioners to more effectively study
the Fa, improve their understanding of the Fa, and grasp the last period of time
to cultivate and be more diligent. These kind of articles can also allow all people in the world, and even
people in the future, to see the other side--the bright side of Dafa
practitioners' lives during the persecution. The old forces want to destroy
practitioners whom they think are not up to par through persecution. However,
they have not been able to do anything to many of the practitioners who have
been following Teacher one lifetime after another. They cannot do anything to
those practitioners who have made vows and come down with Teacher to the Three
Realms for the Fa-rectification. Even many of those Dafa practitioners who have been severely persecuted have
maintained a peaceful heart. They are trying to save the world's people silently
and unselfishly. Therefore, not only can the overseas Dafa practitioners'
parade, drum performances, the Divine Land Marching Band, art performances and
exhibitions manifest Fa-rectification Period Dafa practitioners' demeanor and
validate Dafa's beauty, mainland China's Dafa practitioners' experiences of
overcoming the persecution arranged by the old forces, consummating themselves
and saving sentient beings are also important testimonies of positively
validating Dafa. These are actually the main components of Dafa practitioners'
cultivation. Also, Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners in different states all need
the environment of sharing through the Internet. By reading different experience
sharing articles of practitioners in different states, practitioners can break
through their notions, widen their views, and look at things and resolve
problems in a more harmonious way. These articles can play a very positive role. Articles of this kind written by Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners
can enrich the contents and information of our Internet sharing when the
persecution is still happening. They can also help individual cultivators and
enable different regions to learn from each other so that the persecution can
end sooner. For the students who have not studied the Fa deeply, who still have
fear, they may use human notions to look at things and feel more frightened when
reading the articles exposing the persecution. However, when reading articles
which positively validate Dafa, they will unknowingly feel encouraged. These
kinds of articles can help those regions which have fallen behind in terms of
truth clarification to get rid of their human notions, build up their confidence
and righteous thoughts, do better as a whole, and catch up with the Fa-rectification. Speaking as a whole, cultivation experience sharing articles written by Dafa
practitioners who have continued to cultivate and elevate within the Fa should
be a necessary part of the testimonies of this group of practitioners. These are
to be left to the future generations. The old forces emphasize persecution and
elimination, while we emphasize opposing the persecution, elevation in
cultivation, and saving sentient beings. This should manifest more clearly in
our thinking so that we can have more and more articles of this kind published
and accumulated on the Internet. Above are just my personal thoughts. I hope other Dafa practitioners can also
input their ideas so that more fellow practitioners inside and outside of China
will think and act.
